Geologist: severe water crisis threatens the earth

A serious water crisis is threatening the Earth, and a quarter of its population is no longer supplied with sufficient or adequate quality of drinking water – geologist Juhász Árpád told M1 news channel on Saturday.

He added that the increase in water scarcity is caused, among other things, by the fact that the population is growing most in water scarce areas, Africa and Asia.
In these areas, besides the demographic explosion, the effects of global warming are intensifying, he noted. (MTI)
